ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring and dispensing liquid from a container includes a measuring chamber having an inlet connected to the opening of the container. A cap member is rotatably attached to the measuring chamber. The cap member includes a dispensing outlet and a fill level member. A liquid delivery member is in fluid communication with the measuring chamber and the container. The fill level member is operatively associated with the liquid delivery member to deliver liquid from the container to the measuring chamber. By compressing the container, a volume of liquid is retained within the measuring chamber from flowing back into the container by the fill level member. The measured portion of liquid retained in the measuring chamber is available for dispensing from the dispensing outlet. A method for measuring and dispensing a measured portion of liquid from a container is also disclosed.
